Etymology

The initial Latin name Staetlino was derived from old German stetelin, i.e. 'little town', 'little place'. In the 14th century, the settlement received the Latin name Colonia. Since there was already one larger town with this name in the country (Kolín), the name began to be used in diminutive form (Colonia minor in Latin, Kolinec in Czech).

Geography

Kolinec is located about 15 km southeast of Klatovy and 48 km south of Plzeň. It lies on the border between the Blatná Uplands and Bohemian Forest Foothills. The highest point is at 760 m above sea level. The Ostružná River flows through the market town. The Úslava River originates in the municipal territory, near the village of Lukoviště. There are several fishponds in the territory.

History

The first written mention of Kolinec is from 1290. It was probably founded as a settlement of gold panners. Until the mid-14th century, it was owned by Bohemian queens, then it was granted to the Lords of Velhartice. In 1506, Kolinec became property of Zdeněk Lev of Rožmitál, during whose reign great development occurred.
